After Anitta's veto and fear of cancellation, Virginia's friend leaves musa post at Grande Rio

extra15 September 2026 at 08:00

Duda Freire, Virginia Fonseca's best friend, left the musa position at Grande Rio after fear of being canceled on the internet. The influencer interrupted what would be a dream of parading for the Caxias school, just like her friend, who also will not participate in the carnival for the aggregation.

Duda debuted at Sapucaí this year, parading on one of the school's floats, while Virginia paraded in front of the drum section. The influencer even took samba lessons with a school's dance instructor behind the scenes to prepare and avoid criticism like the ones her friend received on her debut.

Now, Duda is negotiating her stay in the Rio carnival in the same position she achieved at Grande Rio. She has already talked with two schools from the Special Group and is deciding, but needs to close soon, as there are few schools that still have available spots.

Why this matters

The Brazilian reader who follows the universe of digital influencers and Rio de Janeiro's carnival notes that the controversy involving Virginia Fonseca and Anitta expanded to her circle of friendships, with Duda Freire avoiding public exposure for fear of retaliation on social media. The situation shows how online pressure can influence personal and professional decisions in the carnival entertainment scene.
